Airplay from Android device to B&W Zeppelin Air?

[Berni]

I'd like to know if I can use the Spotify Android App to airplay music to my B&W Zeppelin Air. With "Twonky" I can play my music through AirPlay, but not with Spotify. Thx.

Does it have Bluetooth functionality as well? If so, that might be your best bet...

[volcacius]

It's bluetooth or nothing, airplay it's a closed protocol and while it has been implemented by some apps through reverse engineering, it is generally not supported on Android

[David]

Airplay is a proprietary system developed by Apple, so I doubt it'd be supported in any "standard" format anytime soon, sadly.

no exactly true... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AirPlay

there are libraries and indeed other Sender apps. But not yet from Spotify

I have a B&W Zeppelin Air and purchased Logitech Wireless Speaker Adapter for Bluetooth  (http://amzn.to/X37Yqa) and connected it to the 3.5mm AUX port on the back of the Zeppelin Air.   I use it to connect my Nexus 7 and Nexus 4 to the Zeppelin Air...no issues and works perfectly.

***** update 2024****

The app Airspot is no longer available, i`m using now the app 
HiFy-AirPlay+DLNA para Spotify

========================

Yes, it is perfectly possible with app Airspot. I use it, listen to spotify from a samsung tablet (android) conected to my zeppelin air speaker. And luckly Airspot is a free app (for now).

AirSpot in action!

Thanks for the heads up on AirSpot. Got my Samsung S8 playing Spotify beautifully through my B&W Zeppelin. I upgraded to Pro – it was only £2.49 so worth it to not have to keep resetting the app.
